Very often its the case of broken flex pipe on the exhaust.

Hi there,

Sorry to jump on the thread but I'm wondering if I may have the start of the same problem.

What is involved in repairing the broken/split flexi on the exhaust? Is it a whole new pipe or is it just the downpipe part? Also, what sort of cost?
